Originally formed on the campus of Syracuse University in early 2006, indie band Ra Ra Riot has gone on to produce three studio albums as well as tour with bands Death Cab for Cutie and Tokyo Police Club. Their earlier albums have a chamber pop music effect (thanks to the string arrangements of a cello and violin), but their most recent album, 2013's Beta Love, is an experiment with synth and electronic beats that added a whole new element to their sound and turned their songs into dance-floor-worthy jams.

Global Yodel sat down with singer Wes Miles to chat about finding inspiration in Brooklyn, and why touring through Asia is always a good time.
